How to Delete a DoorDash Account

Whether you’re not satisfied with the service or want to try an entirely different food delivery app, if you decide to delete your DoorDash account, you can do so in a few easy steps.

Keep reading to find out how to delete your DoorDash account, including requesting an archive of your account data and transaction history.

How to Delete Your DoorDash Account

To delete your DoorDash account, you’ll need to use a web browser and sign into your account on your computer.

Unfortunately, DoorDash doesn’t allow you to delete your account on the app.

Below are the steps you’ll need to take to remove your personal information and delete your DoorDash account.

1. Go to DoorDash’s Website

To delete your DoorDash account, you must use a web browser and visit their website on your computer.

Go to DoorDash’s website and sign into your account to start the process.

2. Click the Main Menu Icon

You’ll see the “Main Menu” icon (three horizontal lines) on the top left corner next to the DoorDash logo.

Once you click the Main Menu icon, it will expand with additional options, including access to your account settings. 

3. Click “Account”

In the expanded menu, you’ll see a few options, including a link to your account settings page.

Click the “Account” icon to access the page where you can make changes to your account.

4. Click “Manage Account”

On the main account page, DoorDash allows you to update your profile information and make changes to your account.

To delete your DoorDash account, click “Manage Account” on the top right corner of the page.

This will take you to a page where you’ll be presented with two options, one of which is deleting your account.

5. Click “Request Archive”

Once you’re on the “Manage Account” page, you have two options: Request Archive and Delete Account.

While it’s optional, it’s a good idea to request an archive file before deleting your account.

The archived data includes information about your account and previous transaction history.

If you choose this option (highly recommended), DoorDash will prepare the archived file and notify you when it’s ready to download.

6. Delete DoorDash Account

After downloading your account data, the final step is to click the “Delete Account” button to complete the process.

DoorDash uses 2-step verification to confirm account deletions.

You’ll receive a security code via email or text message, which you’ll need to enter to confirm your account deletion.

Note that if you have any pending deliveries, DoorDash doesn’t allow you to delete your account.

In that case, you’ll need to wait until your order is completed and the payment is processed.

Once your DoorDash account is deleted, you’ll not be able to login to your account on the app or the website. In addition, all your account data will be removed from DoorDash, and any credits and gift card balances will be forfeited.

Therefore, make sure to use all your credits and gift card balances before deleting your account.

Also, if you have an active DashPass subscription, you should cancel it before deleting your DoorDash account.

Lastly, DoorDash doesn’t have an easy way to delete an account on the app, but you can follow the above steps on your app (until step #5), and you will be redirected to your mobile browser to complete the account deletion.
